Toyota's growth has disappointed ** and is still the ancestor of hybrid vehicles.
Toyota's sales have always been the focus of attention, but even in China, with the continuous increase of new energy vehicles, Toyota has not shown strong strength as those mentioned before.
Toyota sold 11.23 million units in 2022, up 7% from the same period last year; In stark contrast, with Volkswagen selling less than 10 million units, Toyota will continue to maintain its position as the world's number one sedan.
In addition to China, Toyota's sales have increased, indicating that Toyota's strength is still very strong, even in the era of electric vehicles, it has not been affected in any way, but has become one of the world's top car companies with traditional fuel vehicles.
Even in China, the fastest-growing region for electric vehicles, Toyota's sales have not fallen as sharply as some have claimed, with statistics showing that Toyota's sales in China have fallen by only 2%, highlighting that Toyota is still able to gain a foothold despite the penetration rate of electric vehicles already reaching 30%.
In stark contrast, China's electric vehicle market has begun to decline significantly in the past few years, with batteries falling to 50% in winter, coupled with heavy snow road closures and consumers not being able to turn on air conditioning, all of which have led to a significant rebound in gasoline car sales, especially Toyota's sales in China in December.
When it comes to fuel-efficient cars, Toyota is one of them, but Toyota doesn't do that, they use fuel-based energy, using low-power batteries and fuel engine technology to create a fuel-efficient Prius.
News reports in the United States say that the Prius is already the most durable and most likely fuel car, and to this day, there are still 20 years and 480,000 km of Prius on the old car market in the United States, and American customers believe that this car has a fuel consumption of only 4 liters, can be driven for 20 years, and is stable, as long as it is full of fuel, it is ready to go on the road.
Tesla was the first to launch electric vehicles, but it wasn't until 2019 that Tesla began to enter China, and Tesla's sales began to decline, while Shanghai, China and China's production bases drove Tesla's sales. Tesla's Shanghai factory has reduced Tesla's production expenses by 60%, and China's electric vehicles account for 60% of the world's share, all of which give Tesla the opportunity to make this leap.
Outside of China, the share of electric vehicles is less than 10%, and fuel-powered sedans are still the main model, and the Nordic countries are also aware of this, as they have realised that they can be a disadvantage during the cold winter months, which has also prompted the Nordic countries to start thinking about how to promote electric vehicles.
All of this has made Toyota hype electric vehicles in China at the same time, Toyota's sales are still steadily rising, with practical actions to show the world its tenacious survivability, he said that "electric vehicles will never replace traditional gasoline vehicles", just because fuel cells are the mainstream of the future.
